Isaiah 2:3

1834–1892
Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem." — Isaiah 2:3 (ASV)

In these happy days which have, in a measure, begun, but which in their fullness have not yet dawned upon us, the Spirit of the Lord will work in the hearts of multitudes of people a desire for God.

They will be willing to worship him; they will say, "Let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah"; and they will be anxious to learn what he would teach. This will be the reason why they go—"He will teach us of his ways." They will not only wish to learn, but be quick to practice: "and we will walk in his paths."

Sometimes we have to complain that the masses of mankind are forsaking the worship of God altogether. Too often, those who do attend do so with an inferior motive—not that they may be taught by God. Even some who are, in a manner, taught, are slow to obey. The Lord teaches them by his ministers, but they do not walk in his paths.

Blessed days when all this will be reversed, and the multitudes will flock to the church and to the Christ!
